Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2257  Break

The Mad Monk glanced at the food in Yun Lintian's cell and said with a gloating smile, "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Boy, what crime did you commit? Did you steal someone's daughter? Why would they hate you so much?"

He was a poison expert and could tell the poison in the food aimed to cripple Yun Lintian's profound vein. No matter what kind of elixirs Yun Lintian used, they would be useless in removing the poison.

Yun Lintian remained silent. His mind raced, trying to guess Qian Shang's next plan. Without a doubt, he would be taken away when the competition ended. This would be his most vulnerable period, as everyone would be leaving the city. This meant he only had a few days left.

"Are you hungry, boy? I can give you this piece of bread, but you have to dance for me." The Mad Monk laughed.

"Stop teasing him, you uncultured barbarian." The red-haired woman said with dissatisfaction.

She looked at Yun Lintian with a charming smile and said, "Little Lamb, do you want to serve me? I can keep your stomach full."

"Full? Heh. It should be your stomach that's full of his essence." The wizened old man scoffed. However, his eyes flickered with a hint of lust as he stared at the woman's bountiful breasts.

The red-haired woman snorted coldly. "Believe me or not, I will gauge your eyes out one day."

"Hehe. I can't wait for you to come over." The old man laughed.

Yun Lintian ignored everyone and continued to study the runes. It was true that a cultivator at his level no longer needed traditional nutrition like food, but the chain's suppression had turned him into a mortal. He would eventually go hungry in a month.

Seeing Yun Lintian's focused expression, the Mad Monk and the others felt bored and no longer paid attention to him. They believed Yun Lintian would eventually become like them, despairing and completely giving up on leaving this place.

Meanwhile, the White-Haired Demon opened his eyes to look at Yun Lintian. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

A week passed, and the final round of the competition had arrived. Huang Ba, Gu Bingning, and Long Jinxia were not in the mood to continue, but they couldn't simply give up the opportunity.

During this period, their masters gave the ultimate order to forget about Yun Lintian's affair. It made them anxious and disappointed, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't simply break into the Divine Light Cousin with their pitiful strength.

The competition began. Huang Ba, Gu Bingning, Long Jingxia, and Xiao Hu swiftly dominated the competition. They later met each other in the semi-final round.

Huang Ba defeated Xiao Hu and entered the final, while Long Jingxia lost to Gu Bingning. In the end, Gu Bingning had a much better performance and defeated Huang Ba, becoming the winner of the tournament.

However, Huang Ba didn't feel bad. After the elder announced the closing ceremony, he went straight to find his grandfather.

"Grandpa! It's been a week now," Huang Ba said anxiously. Huang Xian had told him he would fish Yun Lintian out within a week.

Huang Xian calmly sipped his tea and looked at his grandson. "You've disappointed me."

"I am willing to be punished, but you must rescue Brother Yun first," Huang Ba said firmly, steeling his neck. The loss in the final was mainly because he couldn't focus on the battle, as he was too worried about Yun Lintian.

Huang Xian stared at him for a while and said with a faint smile, "It's rare to see you go against me because of someone else. It seems you have truly recognized him as your brother."

"Of course! He is my brother," Huang Ba responded loudly. "Throughout my life, I've never admired anyone among my peers. Brother Yun is the first. He also saved my life and taught me many things."

"That's good to hear." Huang Xian smiled with satisfaction. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Can we go now?" Huang Ba urged.

Huang Xian shook his head and said, "Wait for a while."

"Why?" Huang Ba asked anxiously.

"Something is about to happen," Huang Xian said, glancing in the direction of the Divine Light Cousin building.

Huang Ba was confused but he didn't say anything.

Inside the prison, Yun Lintian stared attentively at the runes. He had been in this posture for an entire week without moving. The Mad Monk and the others, who initially teased him, began to worry. But no matter how they tried to speak to Yun Lintian, he would never respond.

"Alas... It seems we are going to have another madman." The wizened old man looked at Yun Lintian with a sigh.

The red-haired woman cast a pitied look on Yun Lintian. It would be a pity to lose such a promising seedling.

"Hey, boy. Have you gone insane?" The Mad Monk spoke up while gnawing on a beef jerky.

As Yun Lintian remained unresponsive, the Mad Monk was about to say something, but then he saw Yun Lintian finally move his hands.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with relief. He finally understood the mechanism and essence of the runes on the chain. They indeed contained the power of several laws, harmoniously combined and forming a perfectly balanced formation.

To break such a formation, Yun Lintian had to disrupt the balance of power in all directions at once, which was normally impossible for ordinary people without divine energy.

However, while Yun Lintian couldn't muster his divine energy, mobilizing his bloodline power was not a problem.

Initially, Yun Lintian didn't want to reveal his divine bloodlines, but he had no choice now. Time was running out, and he couldn't stay like a fish waiting to be chopped.

Under everyone's curious gazes, Yun Lintian calmly grabbed the chain with both hands, and his eyes turned golden, similar to that of a tiger's.

"This..." The Mad Monk, who was closest to Yun Lintian's cell, looked at the young man in astonishment. Everyone here couldn't even muster a single drop of their power, yet Yun Lintian could actually do it. What was happening?

"Don't tell me he can do it!?" The wizened old man abruptly stood up in shock.

The red-haired woman held her breath, and her heart seemed to stop beating at that moment.

A golden lightning spark flashed along the chain, and the runes glowed brightly, trying to absorb the power.

Yun Lintian remained focused. He calmly guided the White Tiger God's power through the chain, ignoring the growing suppression.

Crack!
